HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL'S REPORT
Mr. Odle and Mr. Morgan reported to the board about the ISTE conference they attended in June.
Attending the conference this year exposed us to a few new vendors who saved the District approximately $56,500 on hardware, while still delivering the latest, most innovative technology for students/staff(details below).
In addition to finalizing our hardware purchases, we also filled several of the gaps in some of our newer course offerings. These resources will promote the framework for courses related to Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM), Career Technical Education (CTE), and business related technology. Most of these gaps will be filled by utilizing online, self-paced learning applications, where each component of the course is determined by the teacher. These applications will also establish a credit recovery option that may be used if a student is behind in his/her academic track. Additionally, this resource may be used as the curriculum for junior high students attending summer school for core subject areas.
A motion was made by Mr. Domineck, seconded by Mr. Chamness, to go into executive session to discuss compensation, employment, hiring, termination, of prospective or current employees
(personnel), review executive session minutes, professional negotiations, and matters of student discipline, security, and litigation. ROLL CALL VOTE: Domineck-yes; Chamness-yes; Bush-yes; Olkoski-yes; Kirkpatrick-yes;
